TEAMS PREVIEW

Bengal Warriors Preview

Bengal Warriors are coming off a 5-7 tie breaker win over the Telugu Titans in a high scoring game that ended in a 45-45 tie at the end of regular time. Devank Dalal led from the front scoring 18 raid points, while Manjeet picked up 6 tackle points on the defensive end. 

The Warriors are one of the best offensive teams this season; in fact, they are the only team to average 26 raid points per game, and no other team is even close to them. Devank Dalal has done the bulk of the scoring with 237 raid points in 14 matches, averaging a staggering 17 raid points per game.

The biggest problem for Bengal this season has been their defense, where they are ranked 11th, scoring just 9 tackle points per game, that too at a highly inefficient rate. Ashish Sahdev Malik has been the lone star with 42 tackle points in 13 matches, while the rest of the defense has been highly inconsistent.

Patna Pirates Preview

The Patna Pirates managed to clinch a 5-6 win in the tie breaker against the Bengaluru Bulls, keeping their playoff hopes alive. Ayan Lohchab led the way scoring 14 raid points (10 touch & 4 bonus), while Ankit Kumar coming off the bench scored 4 raid points in crunch time. 

Despite having a strong raiding unit, where their raiders are averaging 22 raid points per game, led by Ayan Lohchab with 169 raid points in 14 matches and good assistance by Ankit Kumar and M Sudhakar, the Pirates have a fast paced raiding trio but they  lack a quality defensive unit. 

The problem for the Pirates has been their defense, who have been highly inefficient right throughout the season and only managed to get in 8 tackle points per game, the least by any team this season and a team tackle success percent of 30.7.
